"Life is not measured by the number of breathe we take,but by the moments that take our breaths away."
Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College (GNDEC), Ludhiana is not just a premium institution for engineering — it’s a breeding ground for warriors in the making. As proud cadets of the 3 Punjab Battalion, National Cadet Corps (NCC), students here don't just study — they transform.
Every morning, the sports complex echoes with the synchronized thump of boots. The air charges up with Josh, Discipline, and Duty. Senior cadets lead the charge, passing down not just drills, but traditions of grit and glory. Warmups begin with 400-meter rounds, jumps, and sprints — but that’s just the beginning.
Here, RAGDA is not a punishment — it’s a rite of passage. A forge where cadets are tested, pushed, and reshaped. Defaulters today become tomorrow’s drill commanders — because here, rank is earned through resilience.

We don’t just march on the ground — we march through fear, excuses, and weakness... and come out stronger.

This is where engineers become leaders. Where lectures meet life lessons. Where the uniform isn’t just worn — it’s earned.

And when cadets stand tall in formation — heads high, boots aligned — you don’t just see a parade. You see the future saluting the present.

Galwan Valley Clash Aftermath

The Galwan Valley Clash: While NCC is not a combat force, its importance was felt strongly during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, one of the most intense India-China border confrontations in recent years. Although the clash was between regular troops, the aftermath saw an urgent national response — from organizing support drives to assisting local administrations. NCC cadets across several states, especially near border regions, played a critical role by participating in relief operations, logistics support, and awareness campaigns. During that time, NCC cadets helped collect and distribute supplies for soldiers and their families, organized flag marches to boost public morale, and worked with local authorities to maintain discipline during nationwide tensions. In some states like Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab, NCC units also coordinated activities to promote patriotism and unity. Their involvement demonstrated how even outside direct combat, young cadets serve as a vital support pillar during national crises, embodying true service to the nation.

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) plays a vital role in shaping the character and personality of young individuals by instilling discipline, leadership, and a spirit of patriotism. It provides cadets with valuable training in physical fitness, teamwork, and social responsibility, preparing them to face challenges both in civilian life and in times of national emergencies. Beyond military skills, NCC encourages community service, environmental awareness, and national integration, helping youth develop a strong sense of duty towards society and the country. By participating in NCC, cadets gain confidence, develop leadership qualities, and cultivate a lifelong commitment to serve the nation, making NCC an essential platform for building responsible and empowered citizens.
